-3-

(b) In the event that the Parties determine following the Distribution Effective Time that any individual employed outside the United States (other than an individual who the Parties intend to be a Recro Employee) has inadvertently become employed by a member of the Recro Group (due to the operation of transfer of undertakings or similar law or regulation), the Parties shall cooperate and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to cause the employment of such individuals to be promptly transferred to a member of the Baudax Group.

(c) The Parties shall cooperate and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to minimize potential statutory, contractual, plan-based or other severance or similar obligations to the Parties or their Affiliates in connection with any transfers of employment described in this Section 2.1.

(d) Baudax will determine which, if any, temporary workers, individual consultants or independent contractors who are performing service primarily related to the Acute Care Business, it wishes to transfer to Baudax and, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to transfer the individual or to assign the applicable Contract to a member of the Baudax Group and Baudax shall, or shall cause a member of the Baudax Group to, assume and perform such Contract. In the event that a transfer fee is required to be paid in order to effect such transfer, Baudax shall be responsible for and pay the full amount of such fee.

Section 2.2. Assumption and Retention of Liabilities. Recro and Baudax intend that employment-related Liabilities associated with Recro Participants are to be retained or assumed by Recro or a Recro Group member, and employment-related Liabilities associated with Baudax Participants are to be assumed by Baudax or a Baudax Group member, in each case, except as specifically set forth herein. Accordingly, as of the Distribution Effective Time:

(a) Recro or the applicable member of the Recro Group hereby retains or assumes and agrees to pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) all Liabilities arising under or related to Recro Plans, (ii) all employment or service-related Liabilities with respect to (A) all Recro Participants and (B) any individual who is, or was, an independent contractor, temporary employee, temporary service worker, consultant, freelancer, agency employee, leased employee, on-call worker, incidental worker, or non-payroll worker or in any other employment or similar relationship primarily connected to Recro or a Recro Group member and (iii) any Liabilities expressly transferred or allocated to Recro or a Recro Group member under this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement do not create or constitute a source of any such Liability); and

(d) Neither the transfer or other movement of employment or service from any member of the Recro Group to any member of the Baudax Group at any time before the Benefits Commencement Date nor the Distribution Effective Time shall constitute or be treated as a “status change” under the Recro H&W Plans or the Baudax H&W Plans.

(e) Subject to the terms of the applicable Baudax H&W Plan and applicable Law, Baudax shall use its reasonable best efforts to waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Baudax Participants under any Baudax H&W Plan in which such Baudax Participants may be eligible to participate on or after the applicable Benefits Commencement Date.

Section 4.2. Allocation of Health and Welfare Plan Liabilities. Effective as of the Distribution Effective Time, all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from health and welfare coverage or claims incurred prior to, on or after the Distribution Effective Time by each Baudax Participant under the Recro H&W Plans shall cease to be Liabilities of the Recro Group and shall be assumed by the Baudax Group and deemed to be Baudax Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all costs, expenses or Liabilities relating to participation by Baudax Participants in the Recro H&W Plans during the Benefits Transition Period shall be reimbursed by Baudax to the Recro Group in accordance with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) all Liabilities arising under (i) any Recro H&W Plan with respect to Baudax Participants or (ii) any Baudax H&W Plan and (b) all Liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from the cessation of a Baudax Participant’s participation in any Recro H&W Plan and transfer to a Baudax H&W Plan as set forth herein (including any Actions or claims by any Baudax Participants related thereto) shall, in each case, be Baudax Liabilities.

The Baudax FSAs shall assume responsibility as of the Benefits Commencement Date for all outstanding dependent care and health care claims under the Recro FSAs of each Baudax Participant for the year in which the Benefits Commencement Date occurs and shall

-7-

assume the rights of and agree to perform the obligations of the analogous Recro FSA from and after the Benefits Commencement Date. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to provide that the contribution elections of each such Baudax Participant as in effect immediately before the Benefits Commencement Date remain in effect under the Baudax FSAs from and after the Benefits Commencement Date.

Section 4.4. Workers’ Compensation Liabilities. All workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by Baudax Employees or Former Baudax Employees that result from an accident that occurs, or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, on or before the Distribution Effective Time and while such individual was employed by Recro or a Recro Group member shall be assumed by Baudax as of the Distribution Effective Time; provided, however, that to the extent that either (1) such a Liability is covered under a workers compensation insurance policy of Recro or a Recro Group member or (2) Recro has received an invoice for a covered expense prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Baudax shall not assume such Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Baudax shall assume worker’s compensation Liabilities to the extent they are imposed on Baudax under applicable Law or where the injury or illness related to the Liability is aggravated or subject to further injury after the Distribution Effective Time. A Liability which must be paid due to the existence of a deductible shall not be deemed to be covered by a workers compensation insurance policy for purposes of this Section 4.4. Subject to the foregoing, Baudax and each Baudax Group member shall also be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim incurred for a compensable injury sustained by a Baudax Employee that results from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, after the Distribution Effective Time. Recro, each Recro Group member, Baudax and each Baudax Group member shall cooperate with respect to processing of claims, any notification to appropriate governmental agencies of the disposition and the issuance of new, or the transfer of existing, workers’ compensation insurance policies and claims handling contracts.

Section 4.5. Payroll Taxes and Reporting. Recro and Baudax (i) shall, to the extent practicable, treat Baudax (or a Baudax Group member designated by Baudax) as a “successor employer” and Recro (or the appropriate Recro Group member) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(l) and 3306(b)(l) of the Code, with respect to Baudax Employees for purposes of taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”), and (ii) hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the alternate procedure described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53. Without limiting in any manner the obligations and Liabilities of the Parties under the Tax Matters Agreement, including all withholding obligations otherwise set forth therein, Recro, each Recro Group member, Baudax and each Baudax Group member shall each bear its responsibility for payroll tax obligations and for the proper reporting to the appropriate governmental authorities of compensation earned by their respective employees after the Distribution Effective Time.

-8-

Section 4.6. COBRA and HIPAA Compliance. The Recro Group shall administer the Recro Group’s compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA and the corresponding provisions of the Recro H&W Plans with respect to Baudax Participants who incur a COBRA “qualifying event” occurring on or before the applicable Benefits Commencement Date entitling them to benefits under a Recro H&W Plan; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Liabilities related thereto shall constitute Baudax Liabilities. Baudax shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities incurred pursuant to COBRA and for administering, at Baudax’s expense, compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA, and the corresponding provisions of the Baudax H&W Plans with respect to Baudax Participants who incur a COBRA “qualifying event” that occurs at any time after the applicable Benefits Commencement Date entitling them to benefits under a Baudax Plan.
